Cell C has launched a new promotion that offers customers five new contract packages that guarantee a new handset every 12 months for the duration of the contract selected (1, 2, 3 or 4 years). These contracts also offer reduced data, SMS and MMS rates with the flat rate of 99c per minute for voice calls.

“The beauty of this 3 month promotion is not only in the guaranteed new handset that customers will receive at the beginning of every contractual 12-month period but also in the reduced rates,” said Cell C CEO Alan Knott-Craig.

“However, this is not a lock-in contract, if you choose a 4-year contract and want to opt out after 1 year, or 2 years, or 3 years, you can at no penalty. But then you will of course only get a new phone at the beginning of each year you are contracted for.”

The contract packages will be available on postpaid and hybrid (top-up) and customers can enjoy the benefits for a period of 12 months, 24 months, 36 months or 48 months depending on the contract length they choose.

“Each contract will include monthly airtime that can be used for Voice, SMS, MMS or Data – or any combination of these at rates, never-before-seen in the market. The same reduced rates will also apply for out-of-bundle Voice, Data, SMS and MMS usage,” said Knott-Craig.

The promotion will run from 17 August 2012 to 17 November 2012.
